Tips on finding Cemeteries online

Today I am featuring other possibilities for finding cemeteries that you might be interested in.

The Granary Burying Ground in Boston

The two blogs that follow, cover more than just cemeteries but are worth putting into your reader or following because they do feature tombstones and cemeteries that these two very active genealogists visit. I admire both of these ladies.

Now if you go to this blog and see what is presented click on the logo for the Graveyard Rabbit and it will take you to that associations site and links to more blogs about cemeteries in this "Graveyard Rabbit" group.Of course you may want to study what is on the Old Colony blog before you do click. Old Colony Graveyard Rabbit http://oldcolonygraveyardrabbit.blogspot.com/There are several ways to find blogs about cemeteries. One great way is by going to GeneaBloggers. I am a member. On the right side of this blog just scroll to the logo for GeneaBloggers and click and then explore. Or you can click this link to go directly to the Cemetery blogs who are members of GeneaBloggers.http://geneabloggers.com/genealogy-blogs-type/cemetery-blogs/Genealogy Blog finder is also another possibility: http://blogfinder.genealogue.com/ It has topics that you can click on and explore including the cemetery category. Google has their blog finder at this link: http://www.google.com/blogsearchOn the right side of my blog is a list of Favorite Links that you might want to explore. Do realize that websites like Interment and Find A Grave are not always complete for each cemetery. Still it is worth checking them out. Try just typing the name of the cemetery into Google and see what comes up. I just typed in Cataraqui Cemetery into Google and it gave me a lot of hits, including my visit to that cemetery. I share my visit to this cemetery on The Man Who Lived Airplanes blog. See the right side of this blog and scroll to my blog list and explore.

Things to Ponder!

The header photo is of the Lee Cemetery in Hardin Co., Ohio southeast of Kenton, Ohio.

As of today 8/12/2016 Google has closed down Picasa for Photos. They moved them to Google Photos and Google Photo Archive. If there are any problem with my photos from this blog give me a holler and I will check it out. When posting in Blogger the photos went into Picasa for safekeeping it doesn't work that way at Wordpress. I did not move BJM Cemeteries to Wordpress so this is why I am concerned. So far so Good. Thanks. Let me know if there is a problem with any of the photos. Thanks.

As a member of Find A Grave I have been adding photos and memorials and getting some transferred to me and trying to spend a couple hours each week adding to the website. Scroll to the bottom of this blog and you will find a link to my contributions on Find A Grave.

Here are my tips:

I find Find A Grave is really good for finding tombstones and memorials for those buried in the USA. Canada is making progress in adding to Find A Grave but you also have to go to other websites in your search. These websites are the Canadian Headstones.com, OCFA - Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid, the Canadian Gen Webs Cemetery project are few places to look. Each province may have a way to locate cemeteries. Hopefully I have identified these websites in my posts but be aware they do change their urls.
